ULTIMATE GREEK BURGERS



Ultimate Greek Burgers image

The amount of flavor these Greek Burgers pack is simply out of this world! Juicy, succulent and mega flavorful, these burgers are a total showstopper!

Provided by Kimberly Killebrew

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground meat (your choice: beef, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons Homemade Greek Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced red onions
Extra crumbled feta cheese
4 hamburger buns (lightly toasted)
homemade hamburger buns ((click link for recipe))

Steps:

  • Combine the meat, red onion, parsley, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese, salt and Greek seasoning in a mixing bowl. Work with your fingers until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Form into 4 patties. Grill or pan fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or according to desired doneness (is using poultry or pork, make sure it's thoroughly cooked through). If you're cooking them on the stovetop, I like to use the Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan to get those pretty grill marks.
  • Arrange some arugula leaves on the bottoms of each hamburger bun and place the patties on top. Top with tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese. Place the top bun on each burger and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup nonfat Greek style yogurt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill leaves
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey breast
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 whole-wheat burger buns
1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced
4 small leaves romaine lettuce, hard ribs removed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the feta cheese, dill and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine.
  • Divide the turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Put 2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture onto half of the patties. Top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season the burgers on both sides with the salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Spray a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat, or prepare the grill. Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • To serve, place a burger on the bottom half of each bun, top with about 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce, then 2 or 3 cucumber slices and a lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.

Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 slices bacon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Freshly ground pepper
4 potato buns, split
Unsalted butter, softened, for spreading
Coleslaw, for topping

Steps:

Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 4 to 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, spread the cut sides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill.
  • Serve the patties on the buns; top with coleslaw.
